Hodor 21,708 Posted June 19, 2018 The search for real value in blockchain technology is afoot! We've all been there; searching through any evidence for a good investment, trying to separate online hype from reality. In this blog, I describe some of the recent progress Ripple has made with their banking clients & cover some recently-released videos, including on in which David Schwartz sits down for a joint interview. On the community front, there are a couple high-profile events to discuss as well, with the main one being the new symbol for XRP! Hope you enjoy the read & please leave any feedback below. Also, feel free to share my blog with a friend or on any other platform - and thank you for doing so!

Picard 295 Posted June 19, 2018 Amazing reading material. Even after 1 year blog Jubileum you still are sharp as hell. Well done and thanks a lot. Shame my wife does not want another baby otherwise I would have named her/him Hodor as respect to you. Thank you 1 Hodor reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted June 19, 2018 Quote The next step for the symbol is for the XRP Community to help exchanges and other crypto ecosystem stakeholders adopt the symbol when they discuss XRP. Even with a new symbol and a highly-publicized vote, there are still notable crypto icons that still refer to XRP as 'Ripple'. We need to gently remind them that XRP and Ripple are two separate things. @Hodor Tell me about it. The "famous" coinmarketcap clearly has some bias. Livecoinwatch and coinlib.io (much better site imo) already changed the name to XRP. We need to make clear as a community that these are two separate entities. I've already sent them via their request form the official document by fincen referring to the coin - asset as XRP. Also i sent them the interview with Brad from CNBC that he clearly states the difference between XRP and Ripple. They completely ignored me. If the CEO of the company can't make them change their minds, i don't know if anything will. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Let's lean on them as you say until they get the message?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
